Absolutely loved this first shoot with Stephen at RJ Bradbury Photography Studio. The pre-com was on point, Stephen even created a moodboard so I had a clear idea of what we would create. The shoot itself was great, Stephen made sure I was okay throughout, was really communicative (which I love) and the ideas flowed between us. The shoot flew past! Stephen was professional and made me feel at ease. I already saw some results and they're fantastic!

100% recommend Stephen!

What a wonderful shoot with Stephen!

We went to a studio his friend owns in Stockport and he also help as an assistant. Great studio and 2 lovely guys. Made me feel super comfortable and were super professional. Stephen had wonderful direction and super easy to talk to. I loved the shots he took and he had great design ideas for wardrobe. Highly recommend! Would absolutely shoot with him again. :)

Had another fabulous shoot with Stephen today. I’ve worked with Stephen a few times now and it’s always such a pleasure. He is so super friendly, fun and professional. Stephen always has so many great ideas and outfits, along with a fabulous moodboard sent beforehand so I’m made aware of the styling/ideas for the shoot prior to packing!

It’s always such a pleasure working with Stephen, always a chilled and relaxed working atmosphere. Fabulous shots as ever too!!

Thank you so much for having me again!

Had a wonderful shoot with Stephen and his assistant today. He was highly professional and attentive from the start - meeting me at the station and assisting with my suitcase before driving me to the studio. This was much appreciated considering i didn’t know the area. Whilst at the studio I was made to feel completely at ease and comfortable with my own changing room facilities that had plenty of space to hang my clothes, creating an organised space to discuss styling options. Stephen is very easy going and offered plenty of helpful direction for posing during the shoot - communication was really effective and I was very impressed with the photos we produced. I look forward to seeing the finished edits and hopefully working with Stephen again soon.

Thank you 😊

Second shoot today with Stephen. Comms were clear, Stephen showed up way before our planned start time fully propped. Again, another pleasurable shoot with a great photographer!

Thanks for booking me again Stephen and I hope you will be happy with the images

My second shoot with Stephen and it was another great one! Fab communication prior so I knew exactly what he was looking for and I could plan my outfits/ looks to suit! Stephen is so easy to get along with we had such a fun shoot around Leeds, very collaborative with ideas and posing. He had scouted out the locations so knew exactly where we were shooting.

Would 100% recommend and hope to shoot again soon!

Thanks,

I had a great shoot today with Stephen. Steve arrived before our scheduled meet time. His communication from the start was spot on and he was very clear on what he wanted to achieve throughout the shoot which made it run very smooth.

Very fun and a pleasure to be around. Stephen is a great photographer who puts a lot of thought and effort into his shoots.

Thanks again Stephen and I hope to work with you again in the future.

A very pleasant and fun shoot with Stephen! We explored salford quays together, shooting as we went. Conversation was easy, he’s very clear with his direction and he edited the images very quickly! No complaints, would shoot again :)

Great first shoot with Stephen today. He arrived early to check out the area as he hadn't been before and found some great spots to shoot in. He was good at giving direction and was very professional in his work. Looking forward to seeing the images.

It was my second time shooting with Stephen and it's been as great as the first time.

We did a sunrise-ish photoshoot on the beach. It was amazing to work with Stephen again and to meet his lovely wife who came to help and assist.

They are both funny and easy going and I had a very good morning working with them.

Stephen is well prepared, communication was great and we agreed in advance on the outfits so I didn't have to carry too much especially when it comes to an outdoor shoot.

I received a first edited picture the same day and it looks absolutely stunning!

Thank you again and I hope we will have the opportunity to shoot again in the future :)

Stephen was great pre shoot and during the shoot. He had great communication and was clear on direction of what he wanted and how he wanted me to pose too. Also very respectful and made me feel safe whilst in the studio. We shot to time perfectly too. Would definitely recommend to shoot and would happily work with him again.

I had my first shoot today with Stephen and it was amazing!

Pre shoot comms were spot on and I knew exactly what he was after from the get go. We had lovely conversations which allowed the shoot to flow and we go through 4 different outfits which was very impressive! Can't wait to see the images and hope to work together again soon :)

What a lovely relaxed shoot I had with Stephen. Very accommodating to the fact I had to bring my partner and baby and just absolutely wonderful to work with.

Thank you Stephen! Hopefully we will work together again soon. :-)

I had a shoot with Stephen in Bradbury studio and it was so easy and fun! He was very kind and met me in the train station, we had a very intresting chat, he didnt rush me at all.

Stephen is really very professional fotografer . For him is so important to make a shot perfect, so he put the light for a long time, help me to create a good pose and make a couple of shots to receive the best result! So work with him was very intresting and creative! Also he had couple of cool backgrounds, so the photos are really amazing!

It was very easy fun and intresting shoot, i am very happy to work with such a professional and hope to meet with Stephen again. Thank you very much🤗❤️

I had a wonderful shoot with Stephen Wednesday evening at a popular spot in the Peaks.

Stephen was very professional and friendly throughout the shoot. Very attentive with me layering up in between series’ due to the chilly weather!

Stephen captured some fab shots and had a great eye for what would work well.

He had a great personality and I’d love to work with Stephen again. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you again!
